Financial Assistance

A child’s cancer diagnosis is often sudden and can come with unexpected costs.

This is why Redkite offers financial support to parents, guardians and carers of a child with cancer, as well as independent teenagers (aged 16-18) with cancer, by helping them pay for:

  • Rent and mortgage
  • Essential household bills (eg. mobile phone, electricity and internet)
  • Groceries
  • Petrol

Redkite offers three levels of cancer financial support to suit different needs and these funds can be accessed from the time of diagnosis until 12 months after treatment ends through their online portal ‘myRedkite’.
